The Lake Waco Wetlands offer many things to see and do: Hiking, Bird Watching, Plantings, Water Quality Education, Volunteer Opportunities, and 3.5 miles of Nature Trails! In 2000, the Waco City Council voted to increase the level of Lake Waco by seven feet providing an additional 20,000 acre-feet of water. The Lake Waco Wetlands was created to mitigate the habitat loss when Lake Waco was raised b

y those seven feet. To find out more about educational and volunteer opportunities, please visit our website: http://www.waco-texas.com/cms-wetlands/

Heads up! Today the Texas A&M Forest Service is planning to conduct a 130 acre prescribed burn out here at the Lake Waco Wetlands. The burn is planned to start around lunch time and should be completed today.
These burns are used as a management tool in natural areas and state parks to improve habitat for wildlife by restoring woodlands, wetlands, and savannahs that were historically maintained by natural fires. They also reduce the amount of available fuels such as cedars, willow trees, fallen branches, understory growth and dead trees that accumulate naturally and from storm events. By decreasing the amount of available fuels, prescribed burns reduce the chance for potentially destructive wildfire to occur.
